0.06 from a 0.39 high and the verdict is HOLD lol. tough crowd
hold at 84 percent down is just sell in denial with extra steps. at least the engine flagged stage 3 topping
@crocodile_cry 85% drawdown is basically every alt this cycle, CRO aint special. hold or rotate, but dont act surprised
Been DCAing CRO since the CDC card days. Down bad but the chain keeps shipping, ill keep averaging.
cdc card veteran respect, been down with you since the ico. the chain keeps shipping, the chart keeps not caring
A 30k portfolio plan with HOLD on an 85% drawdown asset. Bold strategy, hope the other 29k is in better shape.
hold at 0.06 only makes sense if the 30k is money you can forget for two years. the falling 50d says the market isnt done arguing with the bulls yet
two years is optimistic for a 200d reclaim at this slope. hold only if you forgot you owned it
-84.9% off the 0.39 high and theres still an accumulation signal on OBV. someone is patiently loading this corpse
been holding since 0.31 so a hold call is generous for me lol. the 30k question is whether you trust obv accumulation over the falling 50d
obv divergence at the bottom of an 85 percent drawdown is how bottoms look in hindsight. in real time it just means bagholders with conviction
bagholders with conviction also known as the exit liquidity farewell tour. been on that tour since 0.39 myself, catering is mid
counterpoint, obv divergence also called the 2023 cro bottom and everyone called it bagholder conviction then too. agree the 50d needs to flip first tho
Death cross plus falling 50d kills the 4 bull factors for me. Reid is hedging with that 4/4 split, wait for the 200d reclaim.
200d reclaim on cro after an 85 percent slide could be years away though. meanwhile the obv crowd keeps buying. someone ends up politely wrong
waiting for the 200d reclaim on cro at this slope is a multi year commitment. id sooner set alerts near 0.10 and go touch grass
alert at 0.10 crew reporting in. cro has pinged that level four times since 2023, its basically a scheduled train at this point
four visits to 0.10 since 2023 means the fifth is basically a scheduled stop. mine are set at 0.098 so i at least pretend to front run the crew
scheduled train crew reporting in. my alert has sat at 0.10 since june and its pinged twice already, conductor never misses
same crew, alert set at 0.101 so the fifth visit is mine. obv divergence is nice but the 50d is still pointing down, half size at the level and nothing before
conductor gang checking in, mine has pinged at 0.10 three times since june. at this point the fifth visit is a family reunion
A 30k plan on a token 85 percent off its high with a death cross still active. The honest verdict for that is patience, not deployment.
patience on an active death cross is right but the obv divergence is the one hint someone is loading. half size or nothing feels like the correct play
hold verdict on an 85 percent drawdown is the system politely saying the money is already committed so may as well stay. bold framing
money already committed is brutal and fair. the system knows nobody sells an 85 percent drawdown, the verdicts are theater
obv divergence on an active death cross is the eternal cro question. half size near 0.10 and a beer until the 50d flips feels about right
obv divergence against a death cross is hope with a chart overlay. the 0.098 crew at least gets a fill before the argument resolves
